The first lunatic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 10 Selling Things to Li Shimin

The imperial study room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, except for the rustling of Fang Ce's brush.

Holding Li Shimin's pen in his hand, Fang Ce drew a picture on a piece of paper.

Looking at Fang Ce's words, Li Shimin didn't understand at all.

What exactly is this painting?
I don't understand at all.

It looks like a furnace, but it is different.

pen!

Fang Ce pointed to the thing he drew, and said to Li Shimin: "If the furnace is built higher, the temperature can be controlled a little bit, and it will be easy to make steel. Why don't you know about such a simple thing?"

Fang Ce's expression had as much hatred for iron as steel but as much hatred for iron as steel.

"This is my fourth item. Is it worth [-] guan? Of course, this [-] guan doesn't need to be given by His Majesty, just let Zhao Guogong give it. He monopolized the iron industry of Tang Dynasty and has money. This idea You can sell it to Zhao Guogong for [-] guan, and let's split it fifty-fifty, how about it?"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Ce without any expression on his face, but he nodded and asked, "What is this fifth thing?"

Li Shimin looked at a curved thing next to the blast furnace, but couldn't tell what it was.

"This thing is for horses. The service life of war horses is very short. The reason is that after the horseshoes are worn out, the war horses lose their function. My thing is to put shoes on horses. This thing is nailed to the horseshoes. Without direct contact with the ground, this piece of iron will always be worn out, and when the piece of iron wears out, it will be fine to replace it with a horseshoe.”

Li Shimin looked at the horseshoe, listened to Fang Ce's words, and nodded: "This is worth ten thousand coins!"

Li Shimin didn't brag. The value of a war horse is about fifty guan. Once the horse's shoe is worn out, it is useless.

This horseshoe is enough to prolong the lifespan of the horse on the battlefield. In this case, the money saved will definitely be more than [-] guan.

"These two things are priced at [-] guan, I admit it."

Li Shimin nodded, agreeing to the [-]-guan deal.

"From now on, let's talk about the other three valuable things."

Li Shimin waved his hand, ready to let Fang Ce continue to say something else, something worth a lot, it really wasn't blown out, if Zhenguanli was sold to him.

Then he is also willing to pay [-] guan.

Wait, what is he asking for so much money for?
Li Shimin suddenly became a little curious, why did he want [-] guan?
Can't figure it out.

"The three things I have left are worth far more than the previous two. The [-] coins are worth the money. As long as Your Majesty gives the money, I will give it to you directly. No one will be able to get such good things from me in the future." something."

"Don't talk too much nonsense, hurry up and get to the point."

"The first thing, I would like to ask Your Majesty, how much is this yellow paper worth?"

"One knife is consistent."

"Then my first item can reduce the value of paper to ten pennies and a knife, and the paper produced is snow white. How about it, the value is worth tens of thousands?"

……

Li Shimin was silent, and suddenly lowered the price by a hundred times, and the quality is even better than the current one?
This……

There is no way to describe it. It is worth a million dollars?
It's priceless!

"By the way, Your Majesty, if you cooperate with my second item, you will know that if these two items are combined, you can directly break the family's monopoly on knowledge."

"Why are books so expensive? Because their value remains so high, poor families have no chance at all, but as long as these two things are matched, everything becomes very simple."

"My second thing is called movable type printing!"

After Fang Ce explained the improved papermaking technique and movable type printing technique to Li Shimin in detail.

Li Shimin was stunned, it's that simple.

That is to say, by changing the way of thinking, such a large amount of money can be saved, and it can be better than before. Just like Zhenguanli before, it is just a little change, but the change caused is huge.

It's just that no one thought of it.

And steelmaking and horseshoes.

Just some small changes.

"What about the third thing?"

Li Shimin feels that he has become numb. This house policy, I really can’t understand him. If you take out anything, let alone [-] guan, even if it is [-] guan, you can earn a million guan. , why would you sell it directly to yourself?

Isn't this insane?
But Li Shimin didn't say much.

"The third thing, that's a huge deal, Your Majesty, this thing has touched the bottom line of the family."

Fang Ce had to warn Li Shimin that if he dared not fight the family now, he would definitely not give it to him.

Doing this is not helping Li Shimin, but harming him.

Yang Guang is a lesson from the past.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin's face finally changed, he suddenly snorted coldly, and then said: "You say the family is big, or I am big?"

Li Shimin's words have already demonstrated his determination.

In fact, Fang Ce also knew that Li Shimin had the heart to be an emperor through the ages.

So Fang Ce nodded, and then gave Li Shimin a way to make salt.

In fact, for this kind of thing, just add some charcoal when filtering.

It's just that people nowadays don't understand it at all.

Fang Ce clicked casually, and Li Shimin understood.

In this way, this salt can be made desperately.

The huge benefits generated from this made Li Shimin tremble.

The value of this is estimated to be in the millions, or even tens of millions, every year.

Just sold it to yourself?

Even the insane can't do that.

"Does Your Majesty think I'm crazy? Did you sell all the profits to you? No, I'm not crazy. Although I sold these things to you, it's for Datang. I have no regrets. "

Fang Ce would not reveal his purpose. If Fang Ce told Li Shimin of his plan, Li Shimin would probably have the heart to cut him off.

What is fifty thousand pens used for?

You must never tell Li Shimin about this kind of thing, if you tell him, your plan will be in vain.

How could Li Shimin allow such a thing that might threaten his life to come out?
"You don't need to say this, I know it, tell me, what do you want? In this world, there is nothing that I don't have. Although the title cannot be given to you very well, a county magistrate can still give it to you. "

Fifty thousand Guan bought something that ten thousand Wan Guan could not buy, and Li Shimin felt a little sorry if he didn't give Fang Ce some compensation.

"Father!"

At this moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded outside the imperial study room.
